#ReactJS #DOM #JavaScript #AJAX #MVCframework #UI

React is a JavaScript UI library for dynamic websites. React allows to build complex UI using components as the basis of each building blocks. A component is the smallest possible representative of a group of DOM elements along with its corresponding actions and state. It allows to create DOM, from JavaScript, that automatically updates to any state changes within the model. It’s an extremely useful framework when dealing with AJAX, dynamically updated DOM, and single page web applications. React.js is JavaScript library developed by Facebook for building user interfaces – it’s oftenly used as view in MVC applications and it doesn’t make assumptions on rest of stack so you can use it with different tech stacks.

Pros:

Extremely easy to write UI tests cases. This is due to the virtual DOM system implemented entirely in JS
Components can be reuse easily throughout your app. They can also be combined, and wireup together to create even more complex UIs
One can use reactJS as an alternative, or along with popular JS libraries such as angular, backbone and jQuery
React will automatically manage all UI updates when your underlying data changes.
Ease of debugging-There’s a reactJS chrome extension that allows you to inspect the DOM to figure out which component is rendering a particular piece of UI.
Works nicely with commonJS / AMD patterns

Cons:

There’s a learning curve for beginners whom are new to web development.
Integrating ReactJS into a traditional MVC framework such as rails would require some configuration
It’s kind of verbose. Writing components isn’t as straight forward as pure HTML & JS
It’s not a full framework. There’s no router nor model management libraries built into ReactJS — unlike angular or ember.

MEAN stack (mongoDB, Express.js, Angular.js, Node.js)

M.E.A.N. its self is not a framework, its stands for Node, Express, Angular and MongoDB which are the technologies used to complete the stack. The term MEAN stack refers to a collection of JavaScript based technologies used to develop web applications. MEAN is an acronym for MongoDB, ExpressJS, AngularJS and Node.js. From client to server to database, MEAN is full stack JavaScript. These components combine together to enable you to create the smartest web and mobile applications, and to initiate rock-solid front-end and back-end support. All this technologies common thread is java script, cost effective because of open source, popular for creating dynamic websites. It supports model view controller (MVC) architecture. Uses JSON to transfer the data. MEAN is more innovative and cutting edge technology which will lead the future web applications. Mongo DB is a schema less, easy to scale, has no complex joins, structure of a single object is clear, Tuning, conversion of application object to database objects not needed, uses internal memory for storing the working set, enabling faster access of data. In MEAN stack the only knowledge of language you require is JavaScript. JavaScript was and still is, the mainstream scripting language that runs on the client side and makes the web page dynamic and responsive. The fact that only one language is required in the MEAN stack, it becomes a lot easier for developers to manage the front end as well as the backend. This reason alone is enough that companies should prefer a MEAN stack.

MongoDB

MongoDB is a NoSQL Document Oriented Database. MongoDB – a NoSQL database, literally translating into a “not only SQL” humongous database that steps beyond SQL limitations and outshines every other traditional relational database in terms of high scalability, high performance, high availability, and high capacity in providing effective back-end storage for high-traffic websites. MongoDB has emerged as one of the successful databases that web pioneers had dreamt of – a powerful database with exceptional horizontal scalability and flexible data model. Unlike other relational databases where data is stored in the columns and rows, in MongoDB the data is stored as documents, which may include subdocuments. The disproportionate success of MongoDB is largely based on its innovation as a data structure store that lets us more easily and expressively model the things. MongoDB can be hosted on any cloud and on any server . MongoDB because of its host of libraries, tools and community around it more preferable. MongoDB was designed to scale out. Its document-oriented data model makes it easier for it to split up data across multiple servers. MongoDB automatically takes care of balancing data and load across a cluster, redistributing documents automatically and routing user requests to the correct machines. This allows developers to focus on programming the application, not scaling it. MongoDB supports generic secondary indexes, allowing a variety of fast queries, and provides unique, compound, geospatial, and full-text indexing capabilities as well. MongoDB supports an “aggregation pipeline” that allows you to build complex aggregations from simple pieces and allow the database to optimize it. MongoDB supports time-to-live collections for data that should expire at a certain time, such as sessions. It also supports fixed-size collections, which are useful for holding recent data, such as logs. MongoDB supports an easy-to-use protocol for storing large files and file metadata.

Node.js is a open source cross-platform runtime environment has been written in JavaScript, which makes it an exceptional choice for real-time applications. Node.js is packed with features which have helped it become a top choice for developers when they consider web application development. Node.js is event-based so all the wonderful Ajax -like stuff can be done on the server side. In Node.js developers are able to write JavaScript both sides i.e server-side and client-side coding thus, it becomes easy to send and synchronize the data between these two points automatically, helping developers to save time. Node.js can be used as proxy server if an enterprise lacks its professional proxy infrastructure. Node.js has extraordinary features when it comes to developing real-time applications such as chats and gaming apps. Node.js makes the running of the coding much faster. Node.js is a packaged compilation of Google’s V8 JavaScript engine, the platform abstraction layer, and a core library. It is a way to build scalable network programs. It is a consistent solution for developers. Node.js is incredibly simple. It has simplified and streamlined the development process and made programming very accessible to almost everyone. Many platforms such as PayPal, eBay, LinkedIn, etc. have all been developed using Node.js.

Node.js

Node.js framework has emerged as an excellent tool for developing real-time web apps, as it curtails the complexity associated with the application development and allows to speed up the software development process. It is a highly preferred server-side framework for web application development. Node.js is a JavaScript runtime environment. Apart from providing you the added advantage of using a scripting language, Node.js lightweight runtime helps in rapid application development and deployment. This eventually makes Node.js an excellent solution for agile development. Another great benefit of using Node.js for developing real-time web applications is that it saves you from translating your code. Also, you might be translating the HTTP data from JSON to a server-side object. But, you won’t have to go through such hassle if you use Node.js for your task. Furthermore, utilizing Node will make you reuse the templates which help to minimize the size of your app, and lessen the number of bugs produced.

Node.js can handle the client and server requests asynchronously. The benefit that Node provides in handling many different queries in a blazing fast manner significantly helps in reducing the latency. Another excellent advantage of Node.js is that it comes with an event loop that helps to handle multi-user requests in an effortless manner. The ability to handle multi-user requests make Node.js ideally suited for building chats and gaming apps. One can easily observe how real-time web apps are becoming the “Next Big Thing.” Node is a scalable framework which is of a paramount importance for any startup. Node.js framework has been designed in a way that it helps to support the development of real-time web applications starting from scalability, reduced development cycles to ability to work on the front-end and back-end using the same programming language.
